Help, cannot access my datafile, in endless loop of Quicken asking for my credentials

Mark Willis

Dear Quicken users,

I have just changed my computer and can no longer access my datafile. Whan I open my datafile which I copied from my former computer, the window containing all my accounts briefly appears, but then the system asks me for my credentials.

I get an email confirmation, then trapped in a long loop of "invalid credentials", "Do you need help signing in", reset PW, rinse and repeat.

I am using Quicken Deluxe under WIndows. I live in Switzerland. I use the Quicken Canada software.

I previously changed my password, and can access my Quicken account using my new credentails, and this help website.

I do not understand in any case why I am being asked to re-enter my credentails to open my datafile when I use my Quicken datafile stored on my personal PC.

Help.

With thanks from Geneva.

Since Quicken only supports the US and Canada, using it from another country is hit or miss. Can you try using a VPN to a Canadian IP address that is static? You could also try disabling your internet connection.
